Sympathy Card using Tag Sale #5

I cant believe I received this in the mail today as it was my second placed order from release night . Well, glad I did, because I needed to make a sympathy card for a friend . I bought this set because I loved what  

Maile Belles did with her card. I changed it up a bit. Its was quick and simple and I know I will be using this often. Everything is PTI but the dry embossing is Stampin Up . I see the red smudge I will clean it up. Thank you for stopping by and for all the congratulations on our 11 grandchild who is now home and Out of NICU.

Halloween card kits. / New Grandchild

Erin Lincoln: Pumpkin Totem cardI love this card by Erin so much I wanted to make up some card kits for my grandchildren so they could make some to . This seemed to be the easiest way for me to make them . Have the kits all ready to go, so I could just send them in the mail.  The ages that I sent them to is 4,5,6,8,9 When they are at my house I let them stamp.

NEW GRANDCHILD # 11

We have a new grandchild! He was in the NICU for about 5days but he went home today. ThankGod

We had some very scary days but all is well now and he will be going home to his other 5 siblings. I have to say my daughter Nichole is super mom. After being with her in her 30 some hrs. of labor I then went to my house to take over watching our other 5 grandchildren my husband had them by himself for day in a half. He is a great dad and papa. We are very blessed to have so many grandchildren even though they did come fast  The oldest is only 9

Thanks for stoping by.

My Yearly Halloween Scene

This is the Dept. 56 Halloween scene I put up every year. These pictures from last year, but I do almost the exact same each year.  I will start putting it up today or tommorrow. It takes me about 5 hours because I also do a Halloween tree next to it. Then the tree turns into a fall tree ,after that a Christmas tree .This is all in the dinning room .  Almost everything has moving parts that I have to carefully plan and hide all the cords. It lights up and  the middle haunted house has lighting ,thunder , screaming and creaking sounds. We have almost 11 grandchildren oldest only 9 years old. They all love it and not one of them ever touches it. I have seen them stand on a chair and just watch it. It makes me so happy to see them enjoy it.  The cloth I use over all the game boxes to make different elevations is cheese cloth that I tea died. I will admit I kinda like what I came up with , that is why I don't change it up

Truth be told my husband is the one who loves it the most and got me started with it. Yesterday I said I think I might skip putting it up. He loves it so much I have to say I do it for him, he does not ask for much . My husband loves me to decorate the house. I also do 3 Christmas trees, because it makes him happy. The last picture is what I put up for fall, when I take it down, 

Sorry know this is long . Thanks for stopping by.

Tranquility Trilogy Stamp

A few days ago I was inspired to use my Tranquility Trilogy Stamp Set  by a blog friend Janelle 
http://showandtellblog.typepad.com/show-and-tell/2011/09/triangular-trilogy.html 
Janelle likes to use the stamps she has before she will buy new ones. I think its a great idea. So with the new release coming up I thought I would do the same. The side triangles are just some printed paper I had and I used a bit of Martha Stewarts glitter.  Other wise, its all Papertrey Ink.

Make It Monday # 27 Custom Copic Striped Ribbon

Hi everyone hope your all doing well. I have been so  busy. One of my daughters lives near Sony studios  in California . They just finished filming a movie and then a few days later filmed a national Hunts commercial, in her home that her husband built.  My son in law is a great builder. So she and my three granddaughters stayed with me for a few days while they filmed. Wow she has her hands full. Ages 5,3 and 1. We had a good time. I love spending time with them, but I didn’t  get anything else done while they are here. That is ok though!

I made this card on Sunday Aug 8th and didn’t post till now. I made it from Sees candy wrap, that  was a birthday gift. I love how it looks but I did change up the ribbon so I could enter it in MIM for Papertrey Ink. I was also pleased to see that this pattern will be a new stamp on the 15th. My ribbon did not turn out great as it is the only grosgrain ribbon I have until my order comes in tomorrow. I wish I had white ribbon and a black copic marker. the one below is a ribbon I had first then colored it in with a green, didn’t turn out to

well.Take care and thanks for stoping by.well.Take care and thanks for stoping by.

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday # 26 Decreasing Apertures.
 One of my favorite parts of the MIM challenge is using clear postal tape, sticky side facing outward, then pitting glitter on it. I love the way it turned out. I did have to piece it because I used a large die. I did stamp under the glitter but you cannot see it. I could only decrease once because of the die I chose. Again I did not put a sentiment on my card yet as Im not sure how I will use this card yet.


Die and Stamp are Christmas Tree PTI

Printed card stock is Damask Designs also PTI
Glitter is Martha Stewart

P.S. I’m praying God will lead the men in power in the right direction for our country!

Yosemite Camping Thank You Card

Last week I went camping in a tent, the first time since church youth group as a teen. This was my husband and my first time to Yosemite National Park. We have been to Yellowstone many times, but for some reason  this was our first visit to Yosemite. Is only about 5 hrs. away . It was beautiful we camped next to the water so when it got warm in the middle of the day we would just take a cool dip.We lit a campfire in the evening and first thing in the morning.
 As I was looking at all the campsites I noticed how everyone had a line with clothes and towels on it. I thought oh I hope my order came in the mail by the time I get home, so I could make this card.

Make it Monday #24 Dry Burshing

Make It Monday 

Happy almost weekend! 
 This is my card for MIM for PapertreyInk, using a technique of making an edge with a dry brush and some ink or paint.
I used : All papertrey Ink supplies
Stamp: Rhythm & Soul and Basic Gingham
Die : on the side of the card  I used Large Banners , it's the one on the top of the edges I layered them so you could not see the dots in the middle of each scallop . I kinda like it as I only have the small scallop edge. This kinda gives me the med scalloped edge.
Thanks for looking and have a grate weekend.
   

Make it Monday #23 Pocket With Edgers Die

Fanatical About Botanical Challenge In The Moxie Fab World

Recycled card material and Onesie Die.

This is my MIM card using the PTI Onesie Die. Everyone had such wonderful card for this weeks MIM I found it very difficult to come up with something different. The cards are amazing.

 So I just used the top of the of the onesie die. 

The printed paper is from our anniversary card so is the vellum on the pocket.

The flower is all PTI dies doctored up a bit

Med Beautiful Bloom 2,Love lives here circle die to cut out the middle then gather like Nichole did today on her blog, and Love Lives Here circle for the back. The leaves are just cut apart from Leaf die.

Have a good week and have fun tonight with the new release of PTI stamps.

Thanks Cyndie for the tip to enter in Moxie Fab challenge.

One Nation Under God

Hello, hope everyone is doing well. This is a card I have made many times, but now I am able to add the picket fence from Papertrey Ink. I love the way it added to the flag pole. I should have posted this, the week of the 4th. Oh well here it is. 
 I had three stamps made for me a few years ago, One Nation Under God, Made in America by Marybeth ,(for the back of my cards) and In God We Trust.
Most of the card stock is PTI 
The stamp is Imaginations , its very old and I do love it. I saw it on bay just the other day though.
Take care, and have a good rest of the week.

Make it Monday #22 Multi-Color Stamping With Ink Refills

Hi everyone hope your all doing well.
 Well, for this challenge of MIM, I had to laugh I only have two refills.  So here it is.  I was a bit limited . 
 I used Little Bitty Bird stamp set
 Ink is Hibiscus Burst and Simply Chartreuse 
Card stock and envelope die is PTI. 
Inside the envelope is two soap leaves, from Coldwater Creek, I saw these in the clearance spot and thought they were so neat. My friend said you don’t need those . I said I know but I want them. I put them back. Then I though they would be perfect in the tiny envelope so I said what the heck and as you can see I bought them. The lady said you get a few washes with each one. I know my grandchildren will have fun with them.  They were 10$ but I pd. 3$ for each box. I think there is 12 to a box.
I will add  sentiment when I know what the card will be used for.
